IPv6 Task Force Who can drive IPv6 deployment? Japanese governments’ e-Japan project is promoting the deployment of IPv6 from 2001; annual budget is more than 50M USD?? But real traffic volume is still low. US White House has set the deadline of June 2008 for all agencies’ infrastructure (network backbones) to adopt IPv6, and for agency networks to interface with this infrastructure. → at least Dual Stack. Government initiatives are very effective for the development in the initial stage, but …

IPv6 Task Force Features of IPv6 1.Huge address space: 128 bits 2.Security: IPsec 3.Plug & Play: without DHCP server 4.etc. But IPv6 doesn’t have any dramatic features, except the huge address space. Question: Can R&E networks make full use of the huge address space? My answer: No, except China. We should remember that IPv4 deployment was lead by Microsoft Windows. JP IT headquarter will allocate IPv6 international activities in Asia.

IPv6 Task Force Who can make full use of the huge address space? Both 3GPP and 3GPP2 will adopt IPv6. Electrical appliance will adopt IPv6. Game machines Home security system etc.

IPv6 Task Force Transition Time into IPv6 Transition Time: The cost of IPv6 system will be almost equal with the one of the equivalent IPv4 system When: in several year Duration: a few years. Cost is the most critical factor for driving the transition.

10
IPv6 Task Force Transition Share of IPv4 Transition period should be as short as possible. Cost of IPv4 versus IPv6 Year 2005 equal Cost is the critical factor for the transition! 2015 Flag Day

11
IPv6 Task Force Personal View “Flag Day” should be discussed and planned. Transition should be completed as short as possible, for the network quality as well as the economy. The stakeholders of the transition are the commercial sectors, rather than the R&E networks. R&E network folks can support the transition, but can’t play the leading role at the transition phase.

12
IPv6 Task Force Role of R&E Networks R&E network folks will contribute a lot for the advanced network technologies, rather than the transition: –Development of advanced network technologies –Prototyping of advanced system –High performance end to end system –Network security tools
